Sep. 20, 2011 - "According to the Gallup poll released on Tuesday, Paul was at 13 percent, displacing Rep. Michele Bachmann, who fell to 5 percent and into a three-way dead heat with former House speaker Newt Gingrich and businessman Herman Cain. Bachmann, who won a straw poll in Iowa last month, had been as high as second place....

"Paul's latest showing mirrors what was seen in a recent CNN/ORC International poll in which Paul was also in third place with 13 percent of the vote. He was behind Perry, in the top slot in both polls, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, once the front-runner, but now in second place. For Paul, that jump to 13 percent represents a doubling of his support."
